New England Baked Scallops Recipe

Prepare the Scallops

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Make the Butter Mixture

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

Arrange the Scallops

Place the scallops in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle the butter mixture over the scallops, ensuring they are well coated.

Add the Topping

Sprinkle the seasoned cracker crumbs evenly over the scallops, followed by the chopped parsley.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the topping is golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your New England Baked Scallops!
